INTERPRETATION.
Actions of the Head of an Animal Ate
Its Separation from the Body.

Actions of the Head of an Animal After
Its Separation from the Body.
AT Il recent meeting of the Academy
of Sciences. NJ. Hayeni. Of the medical
school, read Il paper on the phenomena
noticed in the head of an animal after
decapitation. with or without transfu-
sion of fresh blood. As soon a. the
head is separated from the body the
eyes move eonvulsiyely and IL look of
wonder and anxiety is noticeable on
the face. The jaws separate with force.
and the tongue seems 10 be in a tetanic
state. There appears 10 be some con-
sciousness of what is going on. but this
does not last more than three or four
seconds. The eyes then shrink into the
head. and some spasmodic efforts at
breathing are made; the nostrils ex-
pand, the mouth opens. the tongue is
retractcd toward the faU.cS. This re-
spivatory effort is repeated three or
four times, but the senses seem to be
inactive. and the will i lost. These
phenomena last one. or ut most two
minutes. and the head then be-
comes utterly inert. If prepara-
tons have previously been made
SO that the head after separation
continues 10 receive fresh supply
of blood. the voluntary manifesto
tons persist rs long rs the blood sup
ply is sufficient-that is. for half an
hour or more. When blood supply
is furnished after the head has become
entirely motionless. the phenomena are
as follows: Some contractions, very
weak and feeble. take place. especially
in the muscles of the lips; then some
respiratory efforts; reflex actions of
the eye, first weak. then well marked.
but the eyelids remain dropping; the
senses are quite asleep, and
no will is manifested. OF course
the longer the period between
decapitation and the restoration of
blood supply, the longer the time be-
fore these phenomena are apparent.
In conclusion. it may be assumed that
dc capitation does not produce instant
aneous death. Conse ious life and
feeling continue for few seconds.
Whether or not pain is felt during this
brief period can not be ascertained.
most likely not, owing to the rapid
death OF nervous elements. with which
alone sensation is concerned. Paris

STEREOTYPE PLATES.
The Various Modern Processes Employed
 in Their Manufacture.

The Various Modern Processes Employed
 in Their Manufacture.
 The stereotyping process is very simple. The type being set, corrected, made into pages and fixed in frame, is laid upon the stone or hard table used, face upward. A little fine oil is brushed over it. to prevent the papier mache from adhering to the face of the type. This papier mache, which is used for making the matrix or mold, is formed by pasting upon sheet of tough brown paper several sheets of tissue paper and a sheet of soft, ab sorbent white paper. It is made in sheets. and usually to make matrix of the desired thickness several sheets are used. It is kept moist for use. and lightly covered with pulverized French chalk when laid upon the face of the type. Then it is beaten with stiff brush to force the soft paper into all the Interstices of the type Other sheets of the prepared paper are added to secure the desired blllChllCSS, bllC NlOlC IllCH 10 CONClOo with woolen blanket and put into a press, the bed of which is moderately heated and the press screwed down. The heat soon dries the matrix, which when taken out of the press is stiff card showing a perfect reversed i'm pression of the types. A mold of metal is then taken from the matrix, in which the exact face of the types is reproduced for printing. Stereotype metal is softer than ordinary type metal. and is made of mixture of lead. antimony. and tin or bismuth. One of the best formule is said to be lead, nine parts; antimony, two parts; bismuth, one part. When 'the plate is to be run on a rotary press, it is cast in a box which is curved inside, so that the form of the plate will fit the cylinder of the press, when complete. This is the method of stereotyping plates in large newspaper offices, and an entire large plate can he made in a quarter of an hour, or even less time. The papier mache process was first used in France in 1S4S, and few years later was put to use in New York. The quickness and cheapness of the process has brought it into general use, but for fine book work the plaster process is still employed as giving a more perfect re- suit. This process was invented about 1791, and was used altogether until the invention of the papier mache method. By it the matrices are made of plaster of-Paris, which is a slower and more costly way than making them of paper pulp, produces finer and cleaner plate when finished. - Chicago Inter- Oced1l.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
A GOOD-FOR-NoTHING LAD.

There was once lad who really hated Whatever he had to do. So, idle-hearted, away he started To roam the wide world through. With hands in his pockets. whistle, whistle, He strolled through field and town, And was sometimes fed on good white bread, And sometimes fed on brown. The wood-thrush when she saw him coming Straightway became distressed, Fearing that he in the white-thorn tree Would find her hidden nest. The little red squirrel whisked and scampered Up in the topmost limb; And the crow when he saw called out: ''Caw!
 Caw
 I'll keep my eye on himl' The bees worked blithely about the clover; And on their way to school Went children, singing, and gaily bringing Of flowers their hands full. Creatures active, busy and happy He saw at every hand; Andh was the only idle and lonely One in all the land. He mused: 'Why should the thrush and
 squirrel
 Dread even a sight of me' And why does the crow gaze at me so From the top of his high tree? Though of work tired, and it was hateful, Yet this is quite as bad; For no one cares where goes, how fares, good-for-nothing lad!'

WILLIAM TENNIS TABLE.

The Interesting Piece of Furniture Owned
 by Pennsylvania Doctor.
 Dr. J. H. Hepburn, of Reimersburg, Pa, has a table which was once the property of William Penn. The table and four chairs that matched it were presented to William Bradford. the pioneer printer and publisher of this country. They were sacredly kept in the Bradford family until 1920, when they fell into the possession of the third William Bradford, printer in New York City. He set no value on ancient furniture, and stored it in his garret. Among his apprentices was an Irish boy named Barney McGowan. His parents were very poor, and at one time were forced to part with such scant furniture as they had to pay the rent. Young Barney men, toned this circumstance to his em- ployer one day, and Bradford had the Penn chairs and table brought from the garret and gave them to McGowan with the re- mark: ''These things once belonged 10 William Penn. and my father and grandfather prized them highly. But I have no liking for such rubbish, and if they will relieve the distress of your family, you are welcome to them" A few years ago the McGowans moved to Gloucester N. J. There lived there at that time J. H. Hepburn, owner of what was once celebrated coll ection of curios in Philadelphia known as Grott's Museum. To Hepburn the McGowans became indebted for rent, and in other ways, to the amount of thirty dollars. They could not pay, but offered Hepburn the Penn table in liquidation of his claim. He investigated the history of the furni- ture and found that it was genuine. He took the table and cancelled the debt. The four chairs were no longer in pos session of the McGowans, and it is not known what became of them. Hep burn was the father of Dr. Hepburn, the present owner of the ancient table. The table is of solid walnut and has two folding leaves. Itis oval in shape. There are two drawers, one in each end. The table is four feet and seven inches long and five feet wide when the leaves are raised. It is very heavy and solidly built, with no attempt at ornamentation. An offer of five hum dred dollars was refused for it.-Balti- more AnlertcGn. q
